Justice Siddiqui will appear before the SJC tomorrow (Monday). The IHC judge, through his counsel Hamid Khan, has submitted an application, requesting the SJC to hold an open inquiry, rather than an in-camera one. Currently, Justice Siddiqui is facing three cases of misconduct at the SJC. The IHC judge has also been asked to appear along with his counsel on October 1. According to the show-cause notice, the council had noted that Justice Siddiqui in his speech hurled ‘serious allegations’ pertaining to superior judiciary and a ‘state institution’.
